BRISBANE, CA—Capitalizing on the successful and critically acclaimed Badwater series, AXL releases the all-new Badwater 1216 electric guitar for players who want the individuality of a distressed Badwater finish on a single cutaway humbucker guitar.

AXL Badwater guitars offer players unique finishes and aged components in an exceptionally well-designed and playable package. The Badwater 1216 expands the line by adding a dual-humbucker guitar with a set neck.

The Badwater 1216 (AL-820) is built with a set mahogany neck, 2 EMG-designed Alnico humbuckers and a classic-style single cutaway design. The guitar’s rosewood fretboard helps deliver a warm, thick tone. The scale length is a traditional 24 3/4” for vintage punch. The 1216 will be available in all five popular Badwater finishes, crackle blue, crackle black, crackle brown, antique white and antique brown.

Each 1216 guitar body has been distressed individually by the AXL workshop, so no two are alike. The 1216 comes with carefully distressed pickguard, tone and volume knobs, and anodized tuning machines, bridge assembly and strap buttons for a unique look and vintage feel.

The Badwater 1216 single cutaway offers players a guitar that is as individual as their playing style. The Badwater 1216 has a list price of $299.99, and will be available in time for Summer 2009.

Featuring now-classic Badwater distressed finishes and a ferocious "V" body, new AXL Jacknife guitars are some of the most ground breaking metal guitars to hit the market in years.

The AXL Badwater Jacknife (AXL-021) has the most comfortable feel of a 'worn in' guitar and two EMG-designed overwound P-90 pickups for the maximum output and power that today's heavy metal players demand.

The guitar has a unique 'V' body made from solid alder and features vintage style Badwater distressing, antiqued hardware, tune-o-matic bridge, antiqued cream web pickguard, and an ultra thin maple neck designed for fast, furious shredding.

Since their introduction in 2007, the Badwater Series have been overwhelmingly popular with new guitarists and players wanting to add these original, incredible sounding guitars into their collection.

Available in crackle brown/white, off-white and brown finishes, each guitar has a distinct style and edge that never fails to impress.

Badwater Jacknife guitars have a list price of $359.99. The jacknife is also available in the black Mayhem Series and red Bloodsport Series.
